Getting
a career in music
 It
used to be that you had to go to a very liberal university
or an art school to find a decent music production program.
Now it seems that they are popping up everywhere. No surprise
due to the fact that the average American spends more time
and money on entertainment than they do on food and shelter
combined.
Choosing a music production school: So, the question for prospective students is not
where can I find good music production schools. It is who is
going to provide an education that the industry will take
seriously. The entertainment industry has always been fickle.
That hasn't changed.The old
school saying "it's not what you know, but who you know" has
been proven in the entertainment industry more than any other.
So, if you take that as a rule, the reputation of the music
production school will play an enormous factor in your marketability.
A lot of music production schools offer basic audio production programs. Community
colleges have even jumped on the bandwagon. Does this mean that
they are all going to get you a job? Sure. There is no doubt
that you can get into the field with minimal training at a music production school
without any reputation or accreditation from the industry. Are
they jobs worth taking? Probably not. Most people that yearn
for a career in audio are not going to be satisfied with a career
as a sound tech or a live mixer at the local venue that changes
names and owners as often as kegs of beer. Some people are.
If you dream of a career working with estabished artists, studios,
or production houses you need to plan carefully.
The following music production schools have been around for
a while and are recognized in the audio production community
for providing a solid audio foundation using the latest gear
available. Check out their sites and see what they have to offer
you.

recording

School is about over, and I know even though after I become a junior I will still have another year of school left, but I am interested in finding out where are some music-schools/colleges in North Carolina. I’ve been interested in a career in Music most of all my life, I love to sing; I do it almost every day, because it’s what I love to do, at one time all I did was play games. But I love singing, and I want to make a career out of being an Artist in a Music Producer.

So, if there is a good school so I may train near where I am please let me know. TY.
I would like information regarding the above-mentioned colleges, and whether they would consider letting my band record in their studios, perhaps as part of a learning course for their present students.
which programe is best for me?pla advice
whatever you do, don't go to SAE!! They are the worst school ever. I had a really bad experience with them. Their teachers aren't very good and they have strange rules like they lock the doors and won't let you in if you are running late. If you forget your ID, they kick you off campus. I tried to withdraw only after one lesson because I was so disappointed and they charged me another huge fee!
Sir,
I am from Nigeria in Africa and am interested in audio/music production school. Please I need information on how I can enroll as an international student.
Thanks.

School of Communication Arts @ Digital Circus? How do they rank?
I read The Truth's comment and am slowly becoming more and more discouraged.
I am probably just asking you the most common question, which music production school is the best? And how likely are you able to become a music producer? My boyfriend's dream is to become a music producer, he is already a good DJ, but only persue's this as a hobby. I deeply want his dream to come true. So if you could guide me in giving him the best advice I would be grateful. Thank you.
until then....

I think there is a lot of choice in music production courses, however as it is still a minority subject and not enough information, about how good certain courses are in the general picture, exists. I was wondering if you could suggest any good universities/courses and degrees in England?
Thanks
I do not know whether to go to a m.s. school or 4 year university. And if I do decided to go to a m.s. school, which one is the best to go to? They are not cheap, so i want to pick the best one possible, and one with a more promising job placement when it's all said and done.
and better if is cheep plis.
I will like to make enquiry about registration for school of sound engineering, I am mostly interested in Music Production and i have been searching for the best sound engineering school in universe over some months .Thank God that i found you as one of the leading school i have been eager to see, I am a Musician,Music producer,Lyrics arranger,Radio/Tv presenter and Creative event packager..e.t.c,
Therefore, I want to increase my experience and my knowledge in this subject matter, please send me any neccesary information for enrollment for 2007 Acedemic sessions so as to be preparing every neccesary materials for my admission.
i will be hoping forword hearing for you soon. regards.
